Visual Studio 11 – first look
I recently installed Microsoft’s Visual Studio 11 Professional Beta. My initial focus on this release is from a web development perspective. I installed this version in a Windows 7 64-bit virtual environment (and another copy in a Windows 8 Community Preview). Based on my initial comparisons, the product looks and […]
Read MoreAdobe Shadow – First Look
Today, Adobe released a new technology on their labs site called Shadow. This tool should be of significant help for those developing web pages which will be viewed on mobile devices (a.k.a everyone). This technology allows one to synchronize a web page across multiple devices, examine the page on the […]
Read MoreUsing Twitter to Engage Students
Brandy Thatcher and I gave a webinar on “Using Twitter to Engage Students” at the Growing Online Learning conference on Feb. 23, 2012. This was done in Elluminate/ Blackboard Collaborate. I have confirmed that the recording is now active and working. Recording of our webinar Copy of slides Since Elluminate […]
Read MoreWordPress Security
Over the course of the past few weeks, I have watched a number of attempted attacks on some of my WordPress sites. Knowing that WordPress powers over 20% of new active websites in the U.S., I thought it appropriate to put together this post on adding some security. As a […]
Read MoreA challenge to students
We are now in the second week of the semester. I have a challenge for students in my CMWEB classes. I put together a brief slideshow (using PowerPoint and Adobe Captivate) to include audio and transitions. This information came mostly from a Time Magazine article I read over the weekend […]
Read MoreWeb Based IDEs
Due to some last minute scheduling issues this semester, I almost had to have an open lab in a room with no removable hard drives and the computers locked down to the point where nothing could be installed. Yep, this would make teaching advanced web technologies a bit dicey. As […]
Read MoreWhat is a Web Professional
We are about to start the Spring, 2012 semester where I teach. Our college [Illinois Central College] has been recognized as a Web Professional Academy since 2006 (when the Web Professional Program began). Before we start the semester, I though I would reflect on what it means to me to […]
Read MoreAdobe Touch Apps – desired improvements
As I begin this post, I must stress that I am incredibly impressed with the initial versions of Adobe Touch apps on the Android Market. I have obtained Proto, Photoshop Touch, Ideas, Kuler, and Debut. I make the assumption that these apps will be updated at some point in the […]
Read MoreAdobe Touch App – Ideas Overview
Another Adobe Touch App I have been experimenting with on my Samsung Galaxy Tab is Ideas. This is mostly an app to allow one to sketch/ draw using a tablet. One can either draw using a blank canvas or one can import a photo and add a new drawing layer […]
Read MoreAdobe Touch App – Kuler overview
The next Adobe Touch App I wanted to review is kuler. This app is similar to the features you can experience on the WWW at http://kuler.adobe.com. The big advantage to using the Touch app on a tablet is the ability to work offline. For comparison purposes, I provide a screen […]
Read MorePhotoshop Touch CheatSheet
I have been working with several Adobe Touch Apps since they have been released. Although Proto is one I am using frequently for web design work, I also find I am using Photoshop Touch frequently as well. Since I put together a Proto cheatsheet (which has been well received), I […]

Read MoreAdobe Proto – The Code
This is part of a continuing series of posts dealing with the Adobe Touch App – Proto. I have been examining this (downloaded from the Android Market and installed on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1). Previous posts in this series included: Proto Cheatsheet, Form Design with Adobe Proto, and Adobe […]
Read MoreAdobe Proto Navigation and Wireframe
Now that I have created a “cheatsheet” for common Proto gestures and discussed creation of a form with Proto, I thought it time to turn my attention to the process of creating a prototype website (with working navigation). I am creating a wireframe for a site I created with Adobe […]
